HRS §338-17.8
Getting a Hawaii birth certificate for a child born elsewhere
This section lets adults or legal parents of a minor get a Hawaii birth certificate if the parents lived in Hawaii for at least one year right before the child's birth or adoption, even if the child was born outside Hawaii. You must show proof of that residency. The health director sets the rules and fees.
